Description James Richardson 2008-10-06 08:46:53 UTC

When running SP in Vista, an error occurs if it's not 'run as admin' even if logged in with an admin level account.

Comment 1 Wadzinski Tom 2008-10-27 12:27:54 UTC

Reasons why SP currently wants elevated access 
* writing to "program files" dir - being addressed in bug 9823
* Something about keyboard input (possibly only on vista x64) -see bug 9765
* other? 

I will be getting a vista image going with Visual Studio so I can debug specifically the reasons for elevated access.

- Settings moved to user directory: %HOMEPATH%/.squeezeplay/userpath
- console output moved to user directory: %HOMEPATH%/.squeezeplay/stderr.txt and stdout.txt

These two changes allow Vista SqueezePlay to work without admin mode on my x86 Vista image.
